Operation signals
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked/
unlocked. (Locked: once; Unlocked: twice)
■ When the door cannot be locked by the lock sensor
■ Door lock buzzer
If an attempt to lock the doors is made when a door is not fully closed, a
buzzer sounds continuously. Fully close the door to stop the buzzer, and lock
the vehicle once more.
■ Alarms and warning indicators
A combination of exterior and interior alarms as well as warning messages
shown on the multi-information display are used to prevent theft of the vehi-
cle and accidents resulting from err oneous operation. Take appropriate mea-
sures in response to any warning message on the multi-information display.

The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures
when only alarms are sounded. Use your palm to touch the lock sensor.

Notes for locking the doors
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
● Vehicles without a double locking system: When the lock operation is
performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be shown up to
two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
● If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
● The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.
■ Notes for the unlocking function
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle
again.
● If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
● If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag control module. The
airbag control module consists of an airbag sensor.
In certain types of severe front or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys-
tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion
of the occupants.

The SRS airbag can function only when the engine switch is in the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or when the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system).
If the front sub sensors located on both the right and left sides at the front of
the vehicle and the impact sensors in the airbag control module detect a cer-
tain predetermined amount of force during a front collision, the control mod-
ule sends signals to the front airbag modules instructing them to inflate the
SRS front airbags. Then both airbag modules produce gas, which instantly
inflates driver’s and passenger’s SRS front airbags. The knee airbag is also
inflated in combination with the SRS front airbags.
After deployment, the SRS airbags immediately start to deflate so that the
driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting impact to
the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of
an eye.
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non-
accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not
obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver's ability to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle.
When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be
heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are normal
result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

1-7. Safety information
86_EE (OM18071E)
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield
airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact
sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy independently of the
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS fr
ont airbags in the steering wheel and
instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left
and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen-
sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the rear center seat.
If one of the center pillar impact sensors and the impact sensor that is
located under the rear center seat together sense an impact force above a
predetermined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag on the impacted side to
inflate regardless of whether the r ear wheel house impact sensor on the
same side senses an impact.
If one of the rear wheel house impact s ensors and the impact sensor that is
located under the rear center seat together sense an impact force above a
predetermined level in a side collision, the control module causes only the
SRS curtain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The
time required from detection of an impa ct to deflation of an SRS side airbag
after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye. The SRS curtain shield
airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then slowly deflates.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy even when no
one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied.

SRS airbag system monitor
■ SRS warning light
A diagnostic system continually
monitors the readiness of the
SRS airbag system (including
front seat belt pretensioners)
while the vehicle is being driven.
The SRS warning light will show
normal system operation by illu-
minating for approximately 6
seconds when the engine switch
is turned to the “ON” position
(vehicles without a smart entry &
start system), or the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with a smart entry & start sys-
tem).
The following components are monitored by the indicator.
● Front sub sensor
• Right-hand side
• Left-hand side
● Airbag control module (including impact sensor)
● Front airbag module
• Driver’s side
• Front passenger’s side
● Knee airbag module (driver’s side)
